Tracy Porter

WASHINGTON — With a repeated, not-so-subtle use of the word "intent," Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden launched another spate of suspense Monday concerning Robert Griffin III, this time over whether the quarterback would keep the starting job for next week's game.

Asked several different ways whether Griffin will start against the Indianapolis Colts, Gruden hedged each time, citing the need to review the struggles of the passing game before making a decision.

"Right now, we have every intent for Robert," Gruden said. "But we'll look at the tape and make our evaluations here shortly."
